Pangkor Village Seafood Restaurant at Taman Megah

Pangkor Village Seafood Restaurant at Taman Megah is one of our favourite Chinese restaurant in Petaling Jaya. It is named as Pangkor Village Seafood Restaurant because the owner’s hometown is in Pangkor. But, the seafood is not sourced from Pangkor. Some of them are from local suppliers and some are from Indonesia such as the fish heads and crabs.

We came here for dinner twice to celebrate Mother’s’ Day for my mother and my mother in law. So, the food photos in this blog post are from both of the dinners. What are the delicious dishes we ordered here? Reads on to find out more:

Awesome crab dishes at Pangkor Village Seafood, Taman Megah

We ordered Sweet and Sour Crab as it is highly recommended by the waitress at the Pangkor Village Seafood. They have Chili Crab as well but we wanted something that is not spicy. The Sweet and Sour Crab here is one of the best I have tasted. The gravy goes very well with the fresh crab meat. Don’t forget to order the bun to be dipped into the Sweet and Sour Crab gravy as well.

Shot another photo of the Sweet and Sour Crab before moving on to another crab style.

The next crab dish we ordered is this Salted Egg Crab. Salted Egg Crab style is always our favorite style of crab cooking. The Salted Egg Crab at Pangkor Village Seafood does not disappoint.

Another angle of the Salted Egg Crab, showing the crab claw. So delicious until we licked the shell clean. The salted egg is blended very well into the crab’s body. Every bite is a goodness of salted egg with the crab meat.

Curry Fish Head, the signature dish at Pangkor Village Seafood

Another recommended dish here at Pangkor Village Seafood is their signature Curry Fish Head. We asked for fish slices instead of fish head.

The flavourful Curry Fish Head is served with this portable gas stove to keep it hot throughout our dinner.

The Curry Fish Head comes with tofu pok, lady fingers and brinjals. We ordered a small size only as we ordered many other dishes as well.

Took a photo of the juicy and big pieces of brinjal from the Curry Fish Head.

From here you can see the Curry Fish Head ingredients are cut into big pieces.

Seafood Beancurd / tofu is another must order from Pangkor Village Seafood, Taman Megah. A small portion cost RM 9.

The seafood beancurd is yummy and has interesting texture. Each bites make me want to bite more.

The fuyu (fermented tofu) Sweet Potato Leave here is really delicious. One of the best we have tried among all the Chinese Restaurants.

We always like to prepare the chili and garlic soy sauce to enhance the taste of the food. But, if the food is really tasty, the chili and garlic sauce will be left untouched.

Food Menu of Pangkor Village Seafood, Taman Megah

Another specialty of Pangkor Village Seafood is this Steamed Pondan Crab. What an interesting name for this dish. According to an article on The Star Online, the dish is called Steamed Pondan Crab because the crab is caught during the period of shell-changing. The Steamed Pondan Crab has delicious crab roes, and the meat is firmer and sweeter as well. It is perfected with a dash of rice wine only as other condiments or sauce might interfere with the natural taste of the crab. Perhaps can try this for our next visit.
